First light crept over the secluded estate, stretching shadows like long fingers across the garden where you knelt before a bed of struggling blossoms. It had been months since Sir Crocodile's arrest, a stretch of time measured in solitary grief and the hidden weight of a child carried in secret.

Meanwhile, the man himself stood at the garden's edge, the dawn catching the cruel gleam of his golden hook, his eyes fixed on the figure he had come to reclaim.
